Sir Alex Ferguson recently commented that Chelsea may struggle this season as their average playing age was seen as 'too old'. Perhaps as a belated reaction to this jibe.
John Terry, 27, has moved to mention that Manchester United have already 'peaked', and as a consequence, there is only room for regression.
Speaking to Chelsea TV, Terry said: "Manchester United had had two good years... you have to stand back and take your hat off to them but we know we were good last year and we have another level to go to."
"I think we saw the very best of Man United last year, we have got improvements to make, but I think Man United are at their peak."
On the subject of Chelsea's ambition and priorities, the no-nonsense defender said: "The Premier League is the one we are after. To get that back off Man United would be fantastic."
The strong Chelsea defender is really unhappy about Chelsea last season's dug-out which saw them finish behind the Red-Devils in both the UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE and the English FA Premiership Title.
However, Chelsea Coach, Phil Scolari has rather preffered to be silent about Sir Alex Ferguson's comments.
